BARTHOLOMEW AT THE HEAD. A concern Which Received Deposits From Emigrants Without Furn1sh- ing Any Security to she Latter

l BARTHOLOMEW AT THE HEAD,
 Concern Which Received Deposits From Emigrants without Furnish. Ing Any Security tO the Latter.
 NEW YORK, July 8.-At to-day's meeting
 of the board of emigration commissioners MT.
 Stephenson said he had discovered the ex-
 lstenee of concern styling itself the Ameri-
 can Emigrant company at No. 30 State street
 which had received deposits amounting to
 S35O, 900 from emigrants. It could produce
 no articles of incorporation and the man
 who was apparently ruling the concern, one
 J. c. Adams, had admitted to Commissioner
 Stephenson that the depositors had no secur
 ity except his individual credit. The con-
 cern advertises for deposits in papers throughout the country and sends agents in- to Castle Garden to solicit deposits personal ly from emigrants. It had redeposited some of it's deposits in various New York banks in the name of J. c. Savery. One depositor who suspected that something was wrong tried to draw &, 1000, but was obliged to take part of it in bonds of 8 Mexican concern in which Savery is interested. The Company" was known up to last September as the
 
 Hartford and Bartholomew, the Charter Oak Insurance company's presi- dent, was then it's president. When Bartholomew fled to Canada it is claimed that he took with him part of the funds of the Emigration company and Saw cry and a man named J. c. Callahan then bought out the concern and ostensibly as- stunned all the liabilities. Savery says he in- vests the deposits in western lands and has $500, 600 worth of land so acquired He claims that the certificates of deposit show that the depositors are secured, but MT. Stephenson exhibited certificate for $2O which he had deposited and it is simply receipt for so much signed by an agent named Jeanson in Savery's employ. One Warner is manager for Slavery, but will give no information about the business. Mr. Stephenson thought it strange that this busi- ness had been going on for twenty years and none of the Castle Garden officers had re- ported it. Another man named Stromson at No. 27 State street runs a private emi- grant deposit concern on about the same plan, put on smaller scale. He seems to be an honest man, but depositors have security. l man named Rouse, who did 8 large busi- ! 1ess of that kind, fled to Canada eight years I lgo and the emigrants lost every dollar they | lad placed with him. On MT. Stephenson's ! uggeStion rule was made prohibiting all I persons, except authorized railway represen- | atives, from transacting business with emi- ! rants inside the building. MT. Stephenson | vas also instructed to lay the facts before | he State and city authorities.

KELLY,S PETS VICTORIOUS

They Win from the Danburys-MeI- Ion's and Burns, Work Saves the Game-The Harttords Beat the Cu- ban Giants -TO-Day's Game - Other Notes.
 The New Ravens went to Danbury yester- day and defeated Manager Donnelly's team. Cashen pitched for the Danburys and was more or less effective. The fielding of Burns and Mellon was superb. Burns made the greatest running catch ever made in Dan bury. He ran clear across the foul line and caught the ball just as it reached the fence. Mellon caught three flies which seemed good for two or three baggers, taking them on long side run backward. Their fielding was what saved the game.

A Deadly Poison Used to Color th,
 mnnUh

PHILADELPHIA, July S.-The Times says " The four pretty children of Clark Rusk died sudden and strange deaths at their home, up in Comac street, in six of the weeks of 1880. The deaths were the mystery of the coroner's office and the puzzling problem of the medi- cal world. Ths most advanced skill of medi- cal scisnce failed to turn light upon the cause of the mysterious poisoning of the little ones
 'Yesterday Coroner Ashbridge made dis eoveries that are said to trace the four deaths to leadi chromate colored buns, and in making this investigation there were devel- opments of startling nature He has facts which prove that for twenty years past the deadly coloring has been used by big per- centage of the bakers of Philadelphia. He found a man who has for years been selling the recipe, telling how eggs could be saved and profits increased by coloring dough with the poisonous chromate of lead, and he has traced the mineral drug from it's manufac- ture by the big chemical works of the city, through drug establishments and into a hun dred or more bakeries. It's use by bakers is thought to have caused thousands of derths I in the twenty years.o

| the accused was never easy for an instant and l looked like a hunted beast, his eyes gIarine and rolling. The case was adjourned to next Wednesday. On hearing of the adjournment Swift took fresh chew of tobacco and as-
 stunned a sullen, dogged. careless look. He
 was taken back to jail in the Black Maria,
 whereby crowd of two hundred people in waiting missed the morbid satisfaction of looking at him.
 The ante-mortem statement of the murder. ed wife is as follows:
 ''I, Kate Swift, being in full possession of all my senses, and believing that I am about to die, make this sworn statement: I am twenty-three years of age and am married to John Swift; have been married for three years; have not lived with him; left because he drank and abused me; I am working for Smith, Bourn & Co.,; was coming home from work when he met me on Trumbull street; he asked me if was going to forgive him and take him back. I said 'No' Then he said, You must dieP He then pulled out a revolver and shot me. This occurred in front of CampbelPs shop. He knew per feetly well what he was doing. I've had frequent quarrels on account of his drink ing"

The Provost at Edinburgh H efuses to Admit Him and Senator Hale to the Council Chamber.
 EDINBURGH, July 6.-A great deal of in
 dignation is manifested over the failure of
 MT. Blaine to obtain admission to the coun.
 cil chamber to-day during the presentation
 of the freedom of the city to MT. Carnegie.
 It appears that the occurrence was brought
 about by official lack of tact. MT. Blaine and Senator Hale arrived half an hour late.
 All the approaches to the council chamber were crowded and the visitors had hard time reaching the chamber door. When they got there they found they were without tick cts. The janitor did not know them and would not pass them. MT. Carnegie was then delivering the address. Mr. Blaine sent a message to the provost stating the situa- ton. The provost waited until MT. Carnegie had finished speaking before sending orders for the admission of the distinguished Amer jeans. By this time both MT. Blaine and Senator Hale had become disgusted and had retired. MT. Carnegie when he learned what had happened became angry and would scarcely listen to the provost's apologies.

The Difficulties in s.anley,s Way.

LONDON, July S.-The latest news from
 Stanley, the African explorer, says he has had to overcome serious obstacles on the
 journey from Lepoldville to Lowkolela. One of the gravest difficulties was to replenish
 his commissary. The threatened scarcity of provisions excited number of his men and it became necessary to punish the
 malcontents with much severity to
 reduce them to subjection and save the expedition. Stanley himself is i'll from the excessive heat. The expedition
 left Bolobo May il and was expected to
 reach the Congo at it's confluence with the
 Arontronim by June 6. Stanley's pro- gramme was to encamp at this point, there

 The Prisoner Arraigned-Case COntin. ued-The VIfe's Ante-Mortem State ment.
 HARTFORD, July 8.-John Swift, g years old, who so brutally murdered his wife be. cause she refused to live with him and bear his abuse longer, was arraigned before the Police court here to-day. He is by occupa- tion machinist. In reply to the police captain he said: "I killed her because she wouldn't live with me- She was a good wo- man, the best I ever knew, and she never did anything wrong. She would not live with me because I drank. Yesterday I went up street to pawn my pistol, but finally l concluded to keep it and kill my wife with it."
 Young Swift is and has long been tough case. He is the one black cloud on the name of family of undoubted responsibility, and the terrible crime he has committed has well nigh prostrated his widowed mother and his sister, both of whom have the sympathy of their friends and the community. Swift drank too heavily even to retain position in any shop, and Miss McCann acted contrary to the wishes of her friends when she married him. Not many months ago young Swift was sent to jail for an assault on his brother. He has long been the companion of dissolute and low people of both sexes.
 The wife's life with Swift had been a wretched one because of his reckless disposi. tion and confirmed drinking habits. Last Easter she left him.

Harvey, a much trusted official of the Treasury depart ment, was dismissed from the service to day by Secretary Fairchild and held in $12, 900 for defrauding the government by an inge- nious system of forged claims.

DIR. N1cGLYNN,S CASE.
He Cannot be eExconamunicated With.
 out a Trial.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Rev. Dr. McGlynn returned to the city this evening. Being interviewed he would neither affirm nor deny that he had received his notice of excommu- nication. He said his case was like that of the Irish prisoner who was told to plead and replied: "How can tell whether am guilty or innocent until have heard the evidenceH' The doctor said he might have something to say later.
 Dr. Burdsell, the highest authority in this diocese on Catholic church law, says Dr. Me Glynn has not been communicated and cannot be excommunicated without an eccle- siastical trial any more than man accused of crime can be sentenced by a judge with out observing the regular forms of law. It is understood that Dr. McGlynn will demand 8 trial as 8 matter of right. The story that all Catholics who continue to associate with Dr. McGlynn will incur the penalty of ex- communication themselves is discovered to be unfounded. Accommodation on account of association was abolished by the congrega- ton of the inouisition by decree dated De- cember 5, 1883, and approved by Pope ,ao XIII

 League Umpire Grace Pearce has been re- quested to resign, to take effect from July 6. It appears from statement filed with the president of the league by one of the direc- tors of the Indianapolis club, who is an off cer of a western railroad, that Pearce was guilty of dishonorable transaction in rela- ton to railroad ticket between Indianapolis and Chicago. Pearce, it is said, evaded the conductor between Indianapolis and Chicago and disposed of his unused ticket to guest at the hotel in Chicago where he was stop ping. The ticket had been sold to Pearce at reduced rates, along with other members of the Indianapolis club, and iS was therefore refused when presented by Pearce's victim. Pearces only defense was that he always ob- tained two rides on one ticket when the chance presented itself. President Young immediately accepted his resignation and opened correspondence with Mapes Doram, now umpiring for the Pennsylvania league, with view to securing the latter to fill the vacancy in the league staff.

 The people of St. Louis assembled at a public meeting called for the purpose and held at the Merchants Exchange on July s, 1887, respectfully and earnestly extend to the President of the United States and to Mrs. Cleveland an invitation to visit the city and become it's guests for the week commencing October 2.

 General Tuttle on CleveIand's Letter
 DEs MONIES, Ia., July 9.-General Futile,
 commander of the G. A. R. for Iowa, who
 has been absent from the city for several
 days, returned this evening and was asked
 what he thought of President Clevelands re-
 fusal to visit the St. Louis encampment. He
 said: "Cleveland's backdown is so complete
 that we do not feel like exulting, but it was
 the wiseat and best thing he could do. I
 see he attempts to get sympathy by iusinu-
 ating that threats of violence had been made
 against him. I can say that no threats of
 violence were made or even dreamed of.
 The old soldiers do not mean to throw bricks
 in order to show their contempt. I have
 had letters by the bushel from all parts of
 the United States and I believe that ninety
 nine per cent. of the old soldiers are opposed
 to having him review them at their encamp-
 ment As to the suggestion from St. Louis
 that the citizens will treat the G. A. R. with
 incivility, can say that the old soldiers ask
 no favors of St. Louis and do not go there
 for that purpose. They are not set of poli-
 ticians and they will find all the entertain
 ment in renewing and strengthening the ties
 of fraternal association.'
